MITCH Curriculum, Standards, Vision, Mission

Student Achievement

Successful student learning and achievement takes place when excellent teachers use a coherent curriculum, one that is sequentially structured building knowledge year-by-year. We integrate a few excellent, research supported curricula to create a K-8 program of study that is instrumental in students meeting the Common Core State Standards (CCSS.) Think of the CCSS as a building frame for our curriculum – we do not simply teach the standards, but focus on mastery of content knowledge as the essential component for student achievement.
